Every university has its traditions, but few mascots come with a story as distinctive as Â鶹Éç’s Stormy Petrel. Small in stature but legendary in spirit, the Petrel has long been tied to seafaring folklore. He was highlighted in a recent by Marshall Shepherd, who is a leading international expert in weather and climate, and a parent of an Â鶹Éç student.
At Â鶹Éç, the Stormy Petrel is more than just a mascot. Just as the seabird endures the fiercest winds and waves, Â鶹Éç students face challenges with grit, determination and care. Petey often walks around campus, reminding students that they are all Petrels together.
